Health Benefits
Health Benefits
Kale is an extremely nutrient dense food source.
With microgreens you can receive all of the health benefits of kale and avoid the sometimes bitter taste that comes with full grown kale.
Some of the health benefits of this amazing vegetable include:
Full of antioxidants that reduce free radicals, which aids in cancer prevention
Anti-inflammatory, which reduces swelling and pain in the body Fortifies immune system and improves brain health
Protects Against Macular Degeneration and Cataracts
High in Calcium to Protect Against Osteoporosis
Protects Against Diabetes
Supports Heart Health
Helps Prevent Cancer from Carcinogens
Prevents Constipation Due to High Fiber Content
Builds Collagen to Protect Skin and Hair
Lower Glucose Levels in Type I Diabetics
Increase Insulin Sensitivity
Prevents Oxidative Stress
Vitamin A: Crucial for cell division, growth, vision, immunity, and reproduction
Vitamin B6: Plays a key role in metabolism, converting food into energy; brain development; and regulation of immune responses
Vitamin C: Crucial for the development, growth, and repair of body tissues and serves as an antioxidant, protecting cells against the effects of free radicals, which are molecules produced during the
breakdown of food or exposure to radiation, tobacco smoke, and other external sources. (Free radicals are associated with the development of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and other diseases.)
Vitamin E: Neutralizes or reduces free radicals, protecting molecular and cellular components, preventing free radicals from oxygenating cholesterol, thus reducing the chances of stroke or heart disease.
Vitamin K: Plays a key role in wound healing, blood clotting, and bone growth Calcium: Critical in building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth and proper heart, nerve, and muscle functioning and may help reduce the risk of heart disease
Copper: Helps to maintain healthy bones; proper functioning of nerves, blood vessels, and the immune system; the formation of red blood cells; and proper iron absorption
Fiber-rich phosphorus: Important in managing the body’s energy use and storage, filtering and removing waste from the kidneys, and promoting nerve conduction.
Folate: Belongs to the B vitamins and is crucial in the formation of red blood cells, proper cellular growth and function, and reduced risk of brain and congenital spinal disabilities during pregnancy Iron: Helps produce the oxygen-carrying component (hemoglobin) in red blood cells, enhances the body’s energy use, and strengthens the immune system.
Magnesium: Crucial in numerous biochemical reactions in the body, regulating blood pressure, supporting the immune system, and helping
with muscle and nerve functioning, reducing the possibility of kidney stones.
Manganese: Important for bone and connective tissue development, blood sugar regulation, and normal brain and nerve function.
Potassium: Needed for proper cellular functioning, regulating the heartbeat, synthesizing protein, regulating muscle and nerve functioning, and metabolizing carbohydrates.
Kale is also an excellent source of phytochemicals. These compounds produced by plants, included polyphenols, glucosinolates, flavanol compounds, and carotenoid antioxidants.
Phytochemicals slow the growth of some cancer cells and are why microgreens, baby leaf greens and other leafy vegetables are considered to have anticancer properties.
They prevent cellular DNA damage that may lead to cancer, reduce inflammation, and aid the immune system.
